An index fund that follows a well-constructed benchmark and levies a low fee is usually a winning proposition. Market-cap-weighted indexes are particularly attractive, given that they outsource the work of price discovery to active market participants and tend to have low turnover.

CRSP has implemented a transitional reconstitution process for its 33 equity indexes, which will commence with the September 2017 reconstitution. This new methodology represents a departure from the more standard practice of making all changes to an index in a single day and better aligns CRSP Equity Indexes with the investment community’s best practices.

The most recent fact sheets for the CRSP Indexes are now available. Our capitalization-based, industry sector, and style indexes utilize leading edge methodology in order to capture true market depth and evolution. As of June 30, 2017, more than $1 trillion were linked to these indexes.
